New word learned

I came across the word ampoulé the other day.  In English it has two meanings, one of which is turgid -meaning swelling in style or language; bombastic; pompous; vainly ostentacious. A turgid way of speaking, for example.  I have never used this word in either language.  The constant learning of new words and enriching my vocabulary is just another little reason I love translation.  Finding different and concise ways to convey what the client is needing to communicate is essential in this field.
